Children as Creators of Augmented Reality Stories

Abstract

This paper investigates an Erasmus+ project entitled Children as Creators of Augmented Re-ality Stories (CARS), focusing on how children aged 10–12 create augmented reality stories for language learning, grounded in constructionist principles. We apply a SWOT analysis from teacher perspectives to highlight strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The literature review underscores the gap in child-driven augmented reality narrative crea-tion, linking it to collaborative, hands-on learning processes. The proposed research design outlines iterative methods for capturing students’ experiences, language gains, and the prac-tical demands of augmented reality implementation. Results aim to inform educators on best practices, emphasizing resource availability, assessment frameworks, and sustainability considerations. By offering a constructionist lens, the study addresses both theoretical and applied implications, contributing to the broader discourse on augmented reality-based edu-cational innovation while ensuring practical feasibility in diverse contexts
